Collision Repairs Need a Makeover?
As students get settled into their summer routines, teachers and administrators at Ladysmith Secondary are preparing for another year, albeit with fewer students. Principal Dave Street said he has noticed enrolment at the 6th Ave. school has been dropping steadily over the last 10 years. Now, the school is ‘open for business’ said Street, and looking to forge new partnerships in the community to better utilize LSS. “There are challenges with declining enrolment,” said Street, referring to the fact schools receive funding on a per student basis. “Enrolment is the financial driver for school districts.” Starting at the beginning of last year, Street and the staff at LSS have been informing the community about the challenges they are facing and will continue to face in the years to come. At its prime, and when Street was a vice-principal, around 10 years ago, there were between 890 and 910 students at Ladysmith Secondary. In 2011 when the doors reopen, the school is projecting 640 students. Last September, the number was 705. In fact, between 2005 and 2010, Ladysmith Secondary has lost 178 students, said Street. And by 2014/15 the student population is projected to be 550-570. The drop is the most dramatic the school has seen since the Second World War said Street. People have been aware that Ladysmith has been growing, but with no new major industries coming into town, young families are few and far between. Demographics is at the heart of the whole issue across North America, noted Street, as Baby Boomers age and there is not enough new blood to best utilize infrastructure. See Community Page 3

Community involvement key to solution from Page 1 But fewer students does not mean all doom and gloom, said Street. Smaller numbers can mean more one-on-one time. “It gives us the opportunity to know kids and give individual programming,” said Street. “The downside is the impact on staff,” said Street. And the fewer students means fewer dollars for the school, which quickly trans-
lates to reduced teaching staff and cuts to special programs. Street uses the example of sports teams. Not only might teaching resources be spread thin with fewer coaches at the ready, there is a smaller group of young athletes to pull from. “It’s all dependent on numbers.” Even space in the building is dependent on enrolment, said Street, and already between four and five classrooms have been closed with no porta-
bles in use due to fewer students. “We used to have five to six portables on grounds. They’ve all either been moved or are not in service.” In terms of whether LSS will eventually become a K-12 school, Street said those are huge topics that require a lot of discussion, but, he added, the district has been supportive of their efforts. “We are very entrepreneurial in our thinking.

The school district is currently looking at ideas to better utilize schools, said Dale, but said the work done in Ladysmith in terms of community awareness should be a model across the district. “Making the public, parents and students aware that it isn’t going to be like it used to be and we have to deal with it. We have not dealt with the fact we have, basically at the secondary level, too many schools for the amount of kids we have.”

Cash boost for rail Chris Hamlyn BLACK PRESS
Restoration of passenger rail service on Vancouver Island is a step closer following a $7.5-million investment from the B.C. government. Premier Christy Clark arrived at the Nanaimo train station on Selby Street on June 28 aboard a pair of Southern Vancouver Island Rail locomotives to make the announcement. The funding is in two parts, with $7 million for track repair and $500,000 toward an engineering inspection of about 40 rail bridges and trestles on the line. The $7 million is conditional on the Island Corridor Foundation raising an additional $7.5 million to complete essential repairs to the Island service. Passenger rail service was shut down in April due to safety concerns arising from the deteriorating condition of the tracks, which were found to be far worse than anticipated during
routine maintenance and inspection this spring. Island freight service continues, although with trains running at reduced speeds due to the condition of the tracks. “It’s really important for people on the Island to have a passenger service for tourism, but also for freight,” said Clark. “We want to do what we can for people on the Island because it would be shortsighted to stop here and say there’s no more rail on Vancouver Island. We have to look a little bit further ahead than that.” Clark said whether additional money gets spent on the rail service is up to the foundation and its business case. “We’ll see what happens with the money we’ve committed now,” she said. “They can put together their plans and hopefully keep attracting new customers and that will tell us whether or not the railway is sustainable in the longer term. I believe it is, otherwise we wouldn’t have committed the seven and a half million dollars that
we did today.” Graham Bruce, ICF executive director, said the provincial commitment enables the foundation to embark on more comprehensive planning around passenger and freight service and he’s confident he will hear from the federal government on matching the $7.5 million. “We know now we’re going to be here,” he said. “That [$15 million] secures the future and allows us as a foundation and Southern Rail to work co-operatively to really improve the rail service on the Island.” Bruce said the foundation’s timeline requires federal support as soon as possible. “We’ve been clear we needed an answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’ by June. To maintain train service, we need [funding] now,” he said. “We had a provincial leadership race and a federal election, but we’re quite confident as these things work through we should hear from the federal component in the next couple weeks.”
OUR ELECTRICITY GRID IS ABOUT TO GET
A WHOLE LOT SMARTER
STARTING THIS SUMMER, BC HYDRO WILL BE UPGRADING HOMES AND BUSINESSES WITH NEW SMART METERS. MOVING TO A MORE EFFICIENT, MODERNIZED GRID WILL CREATE IMMEDIATE SAVINGS FOR OUR CUSTOMERS. YOU MAY BE WONDERING... What is a smart meter? The smart metering program will modernize our electricity system by replacing old electro-mechanical meters with new digital meters. A smart meter is a digital meter that records the amount of power you use. It helps improve the efficiency of the power grid, means less wasted electricity and gets BC ready for future power needs. What are the benefits for me as a customer? You will be able to see your power use in near real time and it will be faster and easier to open and close your account if you move. What happens if the power goes out? With smart meters in place, BC Hydro can pinpoint power outages and restore power faster. How does it make my community safer? The new meters reduce public and worker exposure to theft-related safety hazards, such as house fires, live wires and premature transformer failures. How will my meter be read? There will be remote, two way communication between your meter and BC Hydro. Smart meter signals are short, infrequent and will last less than one minute per day. Is the signal safe? Yes. The signals are low level frequency, meeting and exceeding Health Canada safety standards. Is my information secure? Similar to online banking systems, the data from the meters is secure and your privacy is protected.

Job action gets OK from B.C. teachers
Ladysmith Chemainus Chronicle Tuesday, July 5, 2011 5
Slag Point a hot spot for illegal fires
Union wants improvements at bargaining table Jenn McGarrigle BLACK PRESS
Teachers ended the school year by voting in favour of job action. Derek DeGear, president of the Nanaimo D i s t r i c t Te a c h e r s ’ Association, said teachers provincewide voted 90 per cent in favour of job action in September if things don’t improve at the bargaining table. About 70 per cent of teachers voted and while he doesn’t have local results, DeGear expects the NanaimoLadysmith results are almost identical to the provincial results. The strike vote results were made public June 29. “We’ve been given a really strong mandate from teachers across the province and in our district,” said DeGear. “What the government is proposing at this time is no improvements. I feel we have a duty to stand up for the services students need and the resources required.” The union’s current contract expired June 30. Teachers are looking for improved working conditions (classroom size and composition, learning specialist ratios, caseloads and preparation time), increased salaries and benefits and more power at local bargaining tables. Teachers voted for a teaching-only job action, which means they would still be in the classroom, but would stop doing administrative or supervisory tasks outside of the classroom, DeGear said. The province will not let the Nanaimo-
Ladysmith school district bargain many issues at the local table, including issues such as the post-and-fill system, which is unique to the district, he added. The district and union spent hours working on the issue and last spring signed a letter of agreement intended to help fix the system, which has resulted in the layoff of between 175 and 250 teachers at the end of previous school years. DeGear said the agreement is working — about one-third fewer teachers were laid off this year and he expects those numbers to continue improving — but the province will not let the district include it in teachers’ contracts because it is a provincial bargaining issue. Trustee Nelson Allen said the post-and-fill issue is designated a provincial matter for now, but the BCTF and B.C. Public School Employers’ Association are talking about the split of issues between provincial and local bargaining tables. Carol McNamee, vice-chairwoman of Nanaimo school board, said the teaching-only job action would have a major effect in the first few weeks of school. “It’s a very busy time of year and management is drowning in work at that time,” she said. “It should be very interesting in September unless something positive happens. “They can still come to some kind of agreement between now and then.”

Ladysmith firefighters attend another fire at Slag Point on June 29. Once the weather gets warmer and people get in party mood, fires become an increasing problem for the fire department said Fire Chief Ray Delcourt. Not only does it waste time for firefighters, but also money, as they are paid on call. It is also a safety risk as the fire could catch and spread. There is a dedicated fire pit at Transfer Beach that is available with a permit. NIOMI PEARSON/CHRONICLE

From the Ladysmith area, around 25 paddlers will be taking to the sea in Russell Robinson’s hand-carved 40-ft. dugout canoe. They will be leaving from either Transfer Beach or the Maritime Society. In all, a team of 40 people are needed for ground and water support. “It’s different for everyone,” said Lisa Robinson on the significance of the journey. Last year, they took a group of youth from the area, some as young as 11. “For them it’s about really finding out what their strengths are. We all have to work together on that canoe,” said Robinson of the 2010 trip. “Going through everything they went through and making it there (Neah Bay, Washington) was really exhilarating for them.”

The Ladysmith Resources Centre Association We are looking for: Energetic, industrious Ladysmith youth between 16-22 years that are interested in learning about local business development and are willing to make a significant time commitment over the summer.
We are also looking for: Adults with business expertise who are willing to mentor youth and be a part of a community team that will explore opportunities for a youth-led business in Ladysmith and are willing to make a significant time commitment over the summer. Thanks to a convening grant from Community Action Initiative we are recruiting a working group to develop a 1st stage feasibility study on the development and implementation of a youth-led business in Ladysmith. This phase of the project will occur from July until Sept 30th. This would be a business that would provide youth with employment opportunities, a place to belong and engage in healthy activities, and a safe space for social experiences with each other and with their community. If you are interested please contact Sam Corrington at Ladysmith Resources Centre Association at 250-245-3079 or sam@lrca.bc.ca.

Opinion What a journey
www.chemainuschronicle.com
Chronicle
It is any ocean fanatic’s dream. To be able to head out into the water aboard a hand-crafted, hand-dug canoe on a route that is as old as travel in North America. The Tribal Journey is again upon us and in a few short weeks, the Robinsons’ 40-ft dugout canoe will be entering the water at either Transfer Beach or the Maritime Society on July 18 bound for Washington State where they will meet with more than 100 other canoes from as far away as Alaska. It would be an awesome sight and anyone would be lucky to be a part of it. In Ladysmith the invitation to attend is extended to youth not only in the local First Nation’s community, but to any youth wanting to take in the experience. There is of course some work to do and people wanting to take part must put in the hours fundraising, as it costs around $7,500 for the paddlers, ground and water support teams to make the trip. The First Nation bands on the Island are very welcoming and forward thinking. It is a pleasure to see the partnerships and co-operations springing up between First Nations groups and their neighbours. From the language preservation, to their welcoming songs and appearances around town, you can tell there is a real concentrated push from local bands to not only preserve, but share their cultures and stories with the people around them. To learn more about the journey, please call Lisa Robinson at 250-245-2152.

Decade on, treaty no panacea BC Views by Tom Fletcher
Question of the Week
ICTORIA – There were high hopes and harsh words in 2000 when the provincial and federal governments signed Canada’s first modern-day treaty with the Nisga’a people of northwestern B.C. The four villages are now governed by the Nisga’a Lisims government, which holds broad authority transferred from the federal and provincial governments. While Canada’s financial support continues to flow, the Nisga’a Nation is nearing the stage where it must begin to collect taxes and become selfsustaining. A new study by the Winnipegbased Frontier Centre for Public Policy offers a unique look behind the scenes of this remote experiment. And judging by the hostile response of the Nisga’a government to the findings, it may be the last one

for some time. Is the Nisga’a Nation ready to support itself? The short answer is no, according to polling data and extensive interviews with “key informants” who are not identified. Co-author Joseph Quesnel told me he interviewed 15 influential people, both supporters and critics of the treaty, since he first visited the region last fall. A larger phone survey by COMPAS Research found that more people trust the Nisga’a government compared to the old Indian Act regime. But divisions remain, particularly over giving up aboriginal tax exemptions. Quesnel said he met people who have left the Nisga’a villages for nearby Tsimshian communities, before sales and income taxes take effect in 2013. According to the study, a culture of dependency that grew up during a century of colonial-style rule remains pervasive. The authors report many of the same problems that plague Indian Act reserves, such as willful damage to housing, accusations of nepotism and failed business investment. “More than one key infor-

mant observed that old attitudes and mentalities persist regarding public services,” the report states. “Expectations at the local level that the village government will provide everything are still rampant.” Quesnel said the Nisga’a Nation’s recent move to allow fee-simple ownership of municipal-style lots is a key step towards self-sufficiency. But the land title system is still in development and it’s too soon to see results. The study notes that economic conditions in Nisga’a territory have become worse since the treaty. Quesnel agreed with my suggestion that this has more to do with the decline of forestry and fishing than any failure of governance. Nisga’a Lisims President Mitchell Stevens issued a statement rejecting the report’s findings, citing two factual errors and denying that he had participated. Quesnel, a Quebec Metis with a background in journalism, said he was welcomed on his initial visit and was even invited to attend a Nisga’a Lisims executive meeting. But he said Stevens and other officials “stopped responding” as the project progressed. In his statement, Stevens
described the code of conduct for Nisga’a officials and the complaint process people can use to hold them accountable for decisions. The president dismissed the “colourful commentary” of a few “key informants” who didn’t expect to be quoted. Quesnel says that despite the slow progress, he remains convinced the Nisga’a treaty is a positive step. Now investors have only one government to deal with, and the region has electricity, mining and gas development on the drawing board. And there are lessons to be learned by other aboriginal communities, such as tackling dependency and addiction problems before a treaty is signed, and bringing in outside experts to set up businesses. “Mitchell Stevens, when I spoke to him, was optimistic about the ability to reduce transfers, even eliminate them,” Quesnel said. “Without financial independence, I think political self-government is really an illusion. Ultimately, you’re still dependent.” Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press newspapers. E-mail tfletcher@ blackpress.ca.

Editor: To whom it may concern. I would like to take this opportunity to voice my support and thanks to the people of Ladysmith and to the “Sportsman Pub” after hearing of the bad press of which both are receiving. After 40 years of travelling, I had the great fortune to discover this wonderful place. My first encounter on arriving was the Sportsman Pub, as a complete stranger. I was shown nothing but help and politeness, this I quickly realized extended throughout the town and its stores. This is my fourth visit to the small oceanside town, which I am really starting to think of as home. For the “Sporty” I can only say that compared with many hostelries in England, I find it exceedingly well-managed, clean and friendly. Also a place where a wealth of local knowledge and history can be found. How else would I have found the places of such interest off the normal “tourist routes?” Once again I say thank you to both the town and the “Sporty” and all the people that make up both. You are one of the best little
Bad message Editor: On June 20, about 140 taxpayers packed North Cowichan council chambers for the public hearings on our official community plan (OCP), the Stonehill development and other items. This show of force by concerned citizens unfortunately was not reflected by our elected leaders. Only the mayor and two councillors were in attendance. The mayor said councillors not attending would be sure to read the summaries of the hearings provided by staff. Oh, sure! Here we have a public hearing on the OCP, a document that will guide decision makers in the coming decade and only three members of council could be bothered to show up. The optics are disturbing. Already there is little trust by citizens that our elected officials really listen and that they, and the bureaucrats that support them, are on pre-ordained missions. When the public hearing on the Echo Heights development plan is held on July 21 (tentative date), I certainly hope the

Rice’s 1952 MG-TD was purchased in Arizona, while his 1977 MGB roadster came from a fellow old-car enthusiast in Nanaimo. Car lovers can look forward to a visual feast of colour and design during this year’s show. “There’s a lot of people that don’t have [British] cars that can get pretty enthusiastic about it,” Wareing said.

A&E
Full sound and experience from Fiddler on the Roof Niomi Pearson THE CHRONICLE
When I was a young girl, I was fortunate enough to have parents who nurtured and shared their love of music with their children. Our home was often filled with the sound of musical films; everything from My Fair Lady to Seven Brides for Seven Brothers to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. My father’s favourite musical was Fiddler on the Roof, which tells the story of Tevye, a poor Jewish milkman and the trials and tribulations of marrying off three of his five headstrong daughters in Tsarist Russia. Call it a hunch, but with four cheeky daughters of his own, I think he felt a connection. So, what better way to kick off the dad’s day weekend than with the Chemainus Theatre’s gala opening of Fiddler on the Roof, which began its four month run on Friday, June 17. The 14th longestrunning musical on broadway, Fiddler on the Roof takes place in the fictional Jewish town of Anatevke, in Tsarist Russia, under the watchful eye of the Constable. Tevye serves somewhat as a narrator, explaining the ways of the town and their traditions, which they hold dear. The matchmaker, Yente, comes with news that the towns’ wealthy butcher, Lazer Wolf wishes to marry Tevye’s oldest daughter Tzeitel. However Tzeitel wants to marry Motel, a poor tailor, and the two convince Tevye to overlook the traditions of their culture for their happiness. This interaction leads to one of the most memorable sequences of the production, where Tevye tricks Golde, his sharp-tongued wife, into approving the marriage by faking a dream,
where Lazer’s dead wife Fruma-Sarah comes back from the grave to threaten revenge if the two are married. During the wedding, the Constable arrives with a group of men and perform a ‘demonstration’ under orders of the Tsar, trashing the room and wrecking the festive atmosphere. In the meantime, Tevye’s next eldest daughter Hodel has been falling in love with Perchik, a student revolutionary who is giving lessons to her sisters. Tevye must come to terms with Hodel’s decision to marry Perchik and follow him to Siberia, where he is exiled. Tevye’s faith is next tested when he learns that daughter Chava is secretly seeing Fyedka, a young Russian, and forbids her to see him. When the two elope to marry, Tevye tells the rest of the family she is dead to them. The production is a family affair for Stephen and Rachel Aberle, who take their real life fatherdaughter relationship to the stage as Tevye and Tzeitel. Their chemistry on the stage is enjoyable and Stephen, while he may not have the same charisma of Chaim To p o l ( w h o p l a y e d Tevye in the famous film adaptation), does a fantastic job of keeping the audience engaged and laughing. The score’s catchy and sometimes boisterous tunes are performed perfectly by the entire crew. Vocals to look forward to include those of Mat Baker (Fyedka), Erin McGrath (Chava) and Julie McIsaac (Hodel). What impressed me about the production was that despite its small cast, and without the aid of microphones, the actors put out a full, rich sound during the ensemble numbers.
Even more impressive is the fact that most of the music is played live by the actors themselves. Perhaps part of
F i d d l e r ’s u n i v e r s a l charm is that it’s relatable. While we have never experienced persecu-
tion to the degree of those in Russia in the early 20th century, we can all identify with Tevye’s struggle to pro-
vide for his children and maintain family values and traditions in a changing world. Fiddler on the Roof
plays at the Chemainus Theatre until September 3. For more information, visit www.chemainustheatrefestival.ca

Bluegrass festival returning to Valley Organizers of the Chemainus Bluegrass Festival have some exciting news for music fans. Festival organizer Bob Johns recently announced that John Reischman and the Jaybirds, one of the most respected bands in the bluegrass world, completes the lineup of six bands coming to Chemainus on July 16 at Waterwheel Park. Mandolin player John Reischman cut his teeth with such well-known groups as the Californiabased Tony Rice Unit. Gaining much respect for his mastery of the mandolin, Reischman went on to form his own group, the Jaybirds. Five other great bands will also be performing throughout the day. Mandolin player Ira Pelletier of Nanaimo has made Chemainus appearances in the past, along with his group Skagway. “If you’ve ever heard Ira’s playing, you know that you won’t want to miss this performance,” said Johns.

Candy bar war unwrapped Niomi Pearson THE CHRONICLE
While some Ladysmith residents may be too young to remember the Five Cent Candy War of 1947, the tale of the local protest that went national will be told when the Seeds and Salt Theatre comes to town July 15 at 2 p.m.. The four-man troupe will perform Bedtime Stories: Dreaming of Vancouver Island, a fourviginette piece on historical events, outside the Maritime Heritage Society. E v e r y y e a r, t h e Seeds and Salt Theatre researches and puts together a production on four true Island stories, then tours across the Island. This year will be the first time that Ladysmith has been featured in a production. “The premise behind creating live theatre was the history component, not to be just another theatre company,” said M a u r e e n A l e x a n d e r, Seeds and Salt producer. “We’re trying to not only preserve the oral history of Vancouver Island but present it in such a way that people are interested and want to find out more.” The Five Cent Candy War actually broke out in 1946 in Victoria but got national attention when 16-year-old Chemainus
student Parker Williams and about 30 of his friends and schoolmates staged a strike against the increase in candy bars to eight cents from five. “This is hard to understand because today we’re use to inflation, we’re used to ‘every time you turn around something costs more’,” Alexander said. “But in those days, because of the war, the prices had been very constant. 1947 was the first indication that inflation was going to take off.” The children, ages 10 to 16, lined First Avenue with picket signs telling people not to be ‘suckers’ and to boycott candy bar sales. What they didn’t realize was the story was picked up by the national wire service and sent across Canada so there were protests and pickets in every major city in Canada, Alexander said. Bedtime Stories, written by Justin Conley, also features three other tales out of Victoria and Strathcona. Several months of research has gone into its creation. Bride Ships is set in the 1850s when gold miners flooded into Victoria and turned it into a wild west. In response, the governor sent women over from the homeland in England in an attempt to marry the men off and
the play chronicles how that turned out. Second Son features the remittance men of Victoria, which were commonly the second sons of wealthy families who were sent to the colony. Strathcona 100 captures the tale of Strathcona, BC’s first park, and the expedition which founded it. A l e x a n d e r, w h o i s also the head of the Bamberton and Mill Bay/Malahat historical societies, says the outdoor theatre style of the production will appeal to people of all ages. Their mandate is to present the stories as they would have been 100 years ago. Thanks to the generosity of the Ladysmith Maritime Society, the ticket fee will be waived. This will be the second year the society has teamed up with the Seeds and Salt Theatre. “We thought what a great opportunity to show them what happens in Ladysmith,” said society executive director Dave Ehrismann. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to come enjoy the play, which runs about one hour and 15 minutes, weather permitting. “It’s just another wow factor about Ladysmith, as a boater or a visitor, there’s always something going on,” Ehrismann said.

Rocking Transfer Beach

Big sound slated for show Niomi Pearson THE CHRONICLE
The Summer Concerts at Transfer Beach will march on July 10 with a performance from the oldest continuous community band in Canada. The Nanaimo Concert Band will bring the big band sound of more than 55 brass and woodwind instruments to the amphitheatre to get your toes tapping. “We’re going to do lots of fun show tunes and big band tunes for this concert,” said band member and publicity co-ordinator Shari Barker. “The whole family will love it. There’s going to be a lot of energy.” The all-ages concert will feature num-
bers like ‘Sing, Sing, Sing’, ‘My Inspiration’ and ‘Showbiz’, which was written by the band’s conductor, John Forbes. “We play pretty well everything,” Barker said. “If it can be arranged, we can play it.” The band covers a range of musical genres including swing, classical and musicals. “There’s isn’t anything we haven’t done, we’ve even played opera,” Barker said. A Victoria Music Hall of Famer, Forbes spent 30 years in the military band system. There, he not only played everything from keyboards to tuba to trumpet and percussion, but he also served as a concert pianist, vocalist, conductor
and staff arranger for the military. He was also a Nanaimo Concert Band member before becoming its conductor. “He’s an amazing man and conductor and so full of energy, we just get so excited when we play under him,” Barker said. The Nanaimo Concert Band was founded in 1872 by Reverend James Reynard and was originally known as the Nanaimo Brass Band. Its current members are primarily based in Nanaimo, but there are a few that travel from Ladysmith, Chemainus and Parksville to get their musical fix. The band’s oldest member is Al Campbell, who played in the band for
almost 70 years. “It’s like a large family, and music’s their life,” said Barker, who has played clarinet with the band for the last 30 years. “We have amateur to professional musicians, and even though I’m an amateur, the things I learn from these professionals; they’re amazing people to play with and they teach you so much.” “I hardly ever miss a Monday night, it’s definitely my passion.” Come out and enjoy the Nanaimo Concert Band at the Transfer Beach Amphitheatre on Sunday, July 10 from 6-8 p.m. Donations go towards the Ladysmith Resources Centre and its programming.
Stories from Chronicles of the past Ed Nicholson LADYSMITH HISTORICAL SOCIETY
June 1911 An announcement on the front page of the Saturday, June 13 Chronicle stated that McKenzie and Mann were purchasing the entire holdings of the Western Fuel Company for $400,000. Western Fuel had recently come in possession of 1,000 acres of virgin coal properties in Nanaimo District. The new acquisition was expected to double coal output from 2,000 tonnes to 4,000 tonnes per day. James Strang, Thomas Strang, William Reid, R. Wilson, David Irvine, A. McLachlan, Wm. Bauld and P. Mckenzie — all of

Phase 2 has 42 lots, comprised of 27 bare-land strata lots and 15 fee simple lots. The entire plot saw 12 acres removed from ALR in ’08. Eight acres remains ALR to offset higher-density, smaller lots, as a private, communal garden for strata residents, Berglund said. “North Cowichan really encouraged this project from day one. They’ve been on board because it fits in with their affordable housing mantra.” In ’07, North Cowichan councillors had the jitters about housing prices reaching their highest and put a call out for affordable projects. Artisan Gardens spec product is a 1,259 square-foot rancher home and is currently listed at $314,000. And Berglund isn’t the only wolf howling for a new beginning. “Developers are committing subdivision applications and that indicates to the municipality is they’re preparing themselves to have more developable property ready for when the market is in a position to absorb,” Devana said. Big players in North C o w i c h a n ’s f i e l d s
include Chris Clement and his mega Artisan Village project, which was greenlighted in January. Three bylaws were approved, paving the way for the 428-unit mixed commercial and residential project close to downtown Chemainus on 33.5 acres of undeveloped land. Golf-course development Cliffs Over Maple Bay is still on hold, and looking for a new owner, Devana said. North Cowichan is also in the midst of polishing off its Official Community Plan. “I know the development community is waiting for that to be complete so they can decide where they want to go next as far as development is concerned,” Devana said. Also in the works is the Chemainus Town Centre Revitalization Plan. North Cowichanhired H.B. Lanarc consultants have taken the reigns of the re-shaping project, which Devana says, like the OCP, is hot on the heels of local investors. “We have a lot going on in North Cowichan. We’re hoping to have the (revitalization plan) completed in the next five months and so that too will have an impact on what will happen in Chemainus,” Devana said.

Avastin And Lucentis Are Equally Effective In Treating Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Researchers are reporting results from the first year of a two-year clinical trial that Avastin, a drug approved to treat some cancers and that is commonly used off-label to treat age-related macular degeneration (AMD), is as effective as the government approved drug Lucentis for the treatment of AMD. The report, from the Comparison of AMD Treatments Trials (CATT), was published online in the New England Journal of Medicine. CATT is funded by the National Eye Institute (NEI), a part of the National Institutes of Health. AMD is the leading cause of vision loss and blindness in older North Americans. In its advanced stages, the wet form of AMD spurs the growth of abnormal blood vessels, which leak fluid and blood into the macula and obscure vision. The macula is the central portion of the retina that allows us to look straight ahead and to perceive fine visual detail. Accumulation of fluid and blood damages the macula, causing loss of central vision. AMD can severely impede mobility and independence. Many patients are unable to drive, read, recognize faces or perform tasks that require hand-eye coordination Genentech, the maker of both drugs, originally developed Avastin to prevent blood vessel growth that enables cancerous tumors to develop and spread. Avastin is approved for the systemic treatment of colon, breast. lung and brain cancer. Genentech later developed Lucentis, derived from a protein similar to Avastin, specifically for injection in the eye to block blood vessel growth in AMD. In 2005, two Genentech-sponsored clinical trials established Lucentis as highly effective for the treatment of wet AMD. During the time between the announcement of the trial results and the release of Lucentis, ophthalmologists began injecting AMD patients with low doses of Avastin, due to its similarity to Lucentis and its availability (an “off-label use for the drug as Avastin is not specifically licensed for the treatment of AMD). Numerous physicians noted a beneficial treatment effect and Avastin’s use grew rapidly despite the lack of data on safety, efficacy and dosing from randomized clinical trials to support its use. Ophthalmologists used Avastin primarily as needed, or pro re nata (PRN), when there was evidence of active disease. The FDA approved Lucentis in 2006, and Health Canada approved Lucentis in 2007. However, many ophthalmologists continued to use Avastin for treatment of AMD due to the substantial difference in the cost of treatment for the patient (Avastin costs approximately $125 per dose versus $1600 for Lucentis). Also, most clinicians adopted a PRN dosing schedule for Lucentis, which was a departure from approved labeling and the monthly dosing schedule evaluated in the Genentech-sponsored clinical trials. It was not known if PRN dosing would produce the same long term vision benefits that were achieved with monthly administration. NEI launched CATT in 2008 to compare Lucentis and Avastin for treatment of wet AMD and to determine the effectiveness of PRN versus monthly dosing of the drugs. The study has now reported results for 1,185 patients treated at 43 clinical centers in the United States. Patients were randomly assigned and treated with one of four regimens for a year. They received Lucentis monthly or PRN, or Avastin monthly or PRN. Enrollment criteria required that study participants had active disease. Patients in the monthly dosing groups received an initial treatment and then had an injection every 28 days. Patients in the PRN groups received an initial treatment and were then examined every 28 days to determine medical need for additional treatment. PRN groups received subsequent treatment when there were signs of disease activity, such as fluid in the retina. Ophthalmologists involved in patient care did not know which study drug a patient was getting, to make sure that the data was not affected by how anyone felt about the treatment. Change in visual acuity served as the primary outcome measure for CATT. Thus far, visual acuity improvement was virtually identical (within one letter difference on an eye chart) for either drug when given monthly. In addition, no difference was found in the percentage of patients who had an important gain or loss in visual function. Also, when each drug was given on a PRN schedule, there also was no difference (within one letter) between drugs. PRN dosing required four to five fewer injections per year than monthly treatment. Visual gains were about two letters less with PRN than with monthly treatment but overall visual results were still excellent. “In addition to the primary finding of equivalence between Lucentis and Avastin for visual acuity, CATT also demonstrates that PRN dosing is a viable treatment option for either of these drugs,” said Daniel F. Martin M.D., study chair for CATT and chairman of the Cole Eye Institute at the Cleveland Clinic. “Substantial visual acuity gains may be accomplished with a lower treatment burden.” Investigators in the CATT study will continue to follow patients through a second year of treatment. These additional data will provide information on longer-term effects of the drugs on vision and safety.

Stocking Creek effort garners national nod Two young Ladysmith residents have been recognized nationally for their efforts in cleaning up Stocking Creek. Jon, 14, and Braden, 16, Judson recently returned from a trip to Yellowknife where they were awarded with the 2011 Conservation Achievement Award on June 18. When a landslide dumped heaps of trash, around 400 dump trucks worth, in Stocking Creek, the Judsons, Sportsmans Club, Chemainus Rod and Gun Club and several other volunteer groups jumped into action to clear the river, pull out most of the garbage and start to stabilize the bank to prevent further incidents. The area used to be used as a garbage dump, but a year of heavy rainfall and melting snow saw the bank give way and trash block a salmon habitat.
Jonathan, Dave and Braden Judson show off the awards Jon and Braden were given by the Canadian Wildlife Federation. MATTHEW PETERSON/CHRONICLE It is a process that has taken four years and is not over yet, said the boys’ father, Dave. “We’ve had machinery go down there to punch in a road to take all the debris out,” said Dave. “We’ve probably got another four or five years to stabilize the bank.” They pulled out 65,000 lb of metal, 10,000 lb of plastics, tires and other non-recyclables and countless other truckloads of trash.

The Ladysmith Paralyzers stunned their opponents June 20 and 21 during the Nanaimo Coffee League’s annual tournament.
“We did well,” said team member Mary Clarke. “It was a funny little tournament, but we ended up with three wins and one loss.”
The Nanaimo Coffee League plays every Monday and Wednesday morning from April to June. There are 18 members on the Ladysmith
Paralyzers, and Clarke said there is always room for more. “The league could use more people if there’s anyone from Yellowpoint down
who might be reading our paper, certainly our league needs more people,” Clarke said. -Niomi Pearson

Brenda Clearwater, an administrator with the course, said the project will see slit draining used on 10 holes, or 466,075 sq-ft of the course to ensure better drainage. Using perforated piping, air and earth, course officials are hoping to reduce the groundwater and ensure better absorption. Not only will it be bet-
ter for drainage, but for the grass roots system, said Clearwater. “The drains provide a bit of an escape route for any excess moisture that may come down,” said Clearwater. Signs will be posted on the holes where they are working, but Clearwater said the work will be of little disturbance to golfers. —Matthew Peterson

PLAYGROUND PROJECT HAS SET UP A FUNDRAISING ACCOUNT at the Junction Bottle Depot, on Ludlow Rd. in Ladysmith. People can take all their empty bottles, juice containers, pop or beer cans, etc (anything you can get a refund for) to the bottle depot and they will credit the funds to the proposed playground at Kin Park in Ladysmith. The name of the account is the "Kin Park Playground" and all we ask is that if folks take their returns to the Junction Bottle Depot they just tell the staff that they wish to put the money into the Kin Park Playground account.
